This is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot verify custody, release anyone, post bond, or obtain an official booking file. Please contact the office that holds the record for those matters.


Official Otter Tail Contacts

For a current custody check, a booking record, or a correction request, start with the appropriate county office. The research did not identify separate public records-unit hours, so confirm office availability before visiting or submitting a time-sensitive request.

General line: 218-998-8555

Fergus Falls, MN 56537
Jail information: 218-998-8556

Choose the source that matches the record needed. A jail roster answers a current-custody question, while a city police incident record, court file, or state custody record can answer a different question.

  • Use the county records and custody page for the official roster, booking-record requests, and released-record limitations.
  • Use Sheriff’s Most Wanted for the county’s published active-warrant source and safe verification routes.
  • Contact Fergus Falls, Perham, or Pelican Rapids police for a city incident record, then use the county jail source for a held person’s booking status.
  • Use the Minnesota DOC Offender Locator for people in state custody or supervision, not county booking status.
  • Use the BOP locator or ICE locator for their separate federal or immigration custody categories.
